Supporters from the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Tano North constituency gathered on Monday to support the parliamentary candidate Dr. Gideon Boako, as he filed his nomination forms for the 2024 general elections.

Dr. Boako, a native of Bomaa and current Vice Presidential Spokesperson, has garnered considerable support within the party after securing a decisive victory over the incumbent Member of Parliament during the NPP primaries.

Among the dignitaries present at the nomination event were Nana Basoa, Council of State Member for the Ahafo Region, Municipal Chief Executive Ernest Kwarteng, regional party executives, and constituency executives led by Chairman Kakari Apau.

After submitting his nomination, Dr. Boako engaged with market women in Duayaw-Nkwanta, reinforcing his commitment to staying connected with grassroots communities.

His message of inclusivity and development resonated with many in attendance, particularly as he emphasised human capital development as a key pillar of his vision for Tano North.

Speaking to the media, Dr. Boako expressed confidence in his chances of winning the parliamentary seat.

"While I do not underestimate my opponent, I believe the openness I have shown and the growth we have achieved together over the past few years will make me the preferred candidate,” he said.

He also called on his supporters to maintain peace and decorum as the campaign heats up, urging them to remember that their opponents are "brothers" within the same political family.

Dr. Boako stressed the importance of unity as the NPP heads into a pivotal election season.
